Quote of the DayNo sane person with a life really wants to be a political activist. When activism is exciting, it tends to involve the risk of bodily harm or incarceration, and when it's safe, it is often tedious, dry, and boring.

Emergency Exit Collective: "The 2008 G8 on Hokkaido, a Strategic Assessment"The authors of this document are a collection of activists, scholars, and writers currently based in the United States and Western Europe who have gotten to know and work with each other in the movement against capitalist globalization. We’re writing this at the request of some members of No! G8 Action Japan, who asked us for a broad strategic analysis of the state of struggle as we see it, and particularly, of the role of the G8, what it represents, the dangers and opportunities that may lie hidden in the moment.

7 in 10 Brits say online flirting is not cheatingEdinburgh, UK, June 26, 2009. Over 71% of women who visit websites like BeNaughty.com for a bit of fun do not see online flirting as cheating and more than 72% of men share the same opinion. A recent survey carried out by flirting dating site, www.benaughty.com, collected more than 2,600 responses from men and women who currently have a spouse or a full time partner. The fact that over 70% of both males and females answered ‘No’ to the question ‘Would you consider flirting online as cheating?’ would suggest a shift in public perception. With the rise in popularity of introduction agencies and online dating websites came the inevitable birth of casual dating for people looking to flirt and have fun on the net, people whose aim was not to find a soulmate with a view to getting married but only to make new friends and have fun along the way. A more relaxed approach to relationships is now growing stronger.

Systems don't change easily. Systems try to maintain themselves, and seek equilibrium. To change a system, you need to shake it up, disrupt the equilibrium. That often requires conflict. Toward an Activist Spirituality (2003)
Have you ever wondered why Republicans are so interested in encouraging people to volunteer in their communities? It's because volunteers work for no pay. Republicans have been trying to get people to work for no pay for a long time.
